Any shopper for Nokia N8?

Hmm, nobody uses his/her phone for managing shopping lists? I've seen few in OVI store but most are hard to use. Shopping itself is quite boring, and if I have to spend other half hour to make shopping list, I better go back to paper notes 😞

wow 😊 never though of that. I like shopping list apps on iPhone, very useful and convenient, especially those that have monthly statistics on spending.

Not really, except via the occasional SMS to the wife & kids, if they want/need something, and I'm the one shopping.

My wife makes lists, but really only for big parties/gatherings, but in 99.9% of cases never for regular/daily stuff that you know you need anyway, and if occasionally you buy something you already have, it'll get used eventually.

If you're home, it takes 1 minute to take a peek in the fridge/cupboards when you're going shopping to see if there's something that might be needed (no need to use 30 or even 3 minutes pondering over it, or writing it down).

Lucky you. In our family shopping as a long lasting novel 😃 And every time we come home we realize that something has been forgotten...

I suppose it'd be different, if the shopping was done, say, only once a week or so. Harder to keep track of things then. We're doing it daily or max 2-3 days apart, and then if something is forgotten, it can be picked up on the next day, or, f it is urgent, anyone can go and get it right away.

Hi kylom,

Thanks for reply. Actually I already bought one, called Mr.Shopper. It's a nice application, simple and good looking. So I'm quite satisfied.
